41 that practice of "renting"a generator or other storm related stuff is common here in Florida! Then the thing is used and they can't legally sell it as new! But 48 hrs on a new appliance is ridiculous!

David, Hunts Point was the reason I never hauled produce!LOL I used to haul insulation into the S.Bronx all the time, but with a flatbed you are unloaded in a half hour,and can split! It's the waiting that gets ya! Freightrain the chicken lights look great!Bob's been asking about you but I've been off the site for awhile! He's polishing the headers on his IHRA teams rail,getting ready for the season to open!

Absolutely! In about 1962 I knew a kid who had a 57 Bel Aire four door hardtop blue and silver if my memory serves,Rochester fuel injected 283 with a four speed,had to be a rare optioned car especially with the four door! His dad bought it new!

Makes me think of the short lived belt driven tag  axles!

weren't there 57 chevys with a factory fuel injection? and early corvettes.

Heartwarming!

Anyone remember JV McNicholas out of Youngstown Oh? Steel hauler ran R models, U models and a few F sleepers.

Just thought of this...what if the emergency braking system on their new car failed to work would they know to hit the foot pedal?

I hope our enemies aren't reading this!, legitimately scary!

Great pics OD!

OD Wal Mart has been selling cheap tennis shoes with a Nike swoosh on then for decades started at 8.00 went to about 11.00 recently, I used to wear them when driving.Wonder how the manufacturer gets away with the Nike swoosh? I recently bought a pair of Chinese made Red Wings, very high quality box toe all leather,79.00 Rural King thru Amazon still ticks me off,but couldn't pass them up!

Don't they make 4" straps and chains anymore? As for eye protection, when I was 19 I was removing a pilot bushing using grease and a Chevy main drive gear (with the synchro splines on the end without eye protection!) I spent 14 days in the hospital! I see eye protection violations on reality shows all the time! Dirty jobs, Overhauling etc!

MB I remember they promoted the Allis Chalmers as a road engine for awhile in the middle 70s but then you didn't hear any more about them.

OD, I drove over Hoover dam a couple times before 911, they won't let you drive a semi over it anymore! It has some pretty tight turns, but imagine if a terrorist drove a load of explosives or toxic chemicals off the dam into the river! One of the most beautiful sights I've seen is that dam.I used to cross the New River  on 19 going to and from my home in Washington Pa. That whole state is beautiful! I heard it costs over 100k to periodically regild the capital dome!

Awesome trucks, I used to pull an aluminum drop deck with  a single axle MH. Best riding Cabover I ever drove.

I HATE "patina!" Spent most of my youth repairing rustouts! Street Rodder actually devoted a whole article to clearcoating patina on an otherwise clean 57 Chevy!

Was in second grade also a one room schoolhouse 3 grades,while they built the "new" Peters Twp.hs. Venetia Pa. An old steam train came thru the valley every morning leaving a cloud of smoke.beautiful LT!

Ten Five o, that's a nice "repurpose" of a fire truck,what's it running?

Joe is the "Twin Rocks" TS, restaurant, still in existence, ate there all the time.

Yarnall I bet a machine shop could create a set of king pins much cheaper from round stock.

118 k! Barely broken in!

Solid looking B! Don't see a lotta quads in a single axle.

That hood on the mack wrecker looks like a modified Dodge fibreglass unit!

Anchor Motor Freight ran a few of those chevys as car haulers.Anyone remember the Chevy pickups with coil springs in back?
